If Indy were to wear a watch

Post by Indiana Croft »

Would it look like this?.

http://www.gadgetuniverse.com/cgi-bin/s ... N9=watches

I've been lookin at this watch now for a while and it just came down in price. It's a reprodution of a watch manufactured by Steinhausen. Looks like a good watch from days gone past. Read the info on the watch and you'll read that it was orriginaly made in 1923 and only 7 were made.What do you guys and gals think.

I have one just about identical except it's a Stauer. It does go good with Indy gear. It's a little time consuming to reset all the dials after not wearing it for a day, but no big deal.

Hey Croft,
I like that watch. They advertise it each Sundy in the NY Times.
As for which watch Indy would wear; we have this discussion every now and then and I always find it very amusing and informative. :wink:
There is always the school of thought that Indy would have worn, or indeed did carry, a pocketwatch. This is why no watch is seen on his arm. Personally, I think he would have worn a WWI trench watch, similar to the field watches you see at Orvis, LL Bean, and the great looking ones that show up at J. Peterman.
But back to this watch; very nice, period accurate, but a bit too dressy for a watch to wear out in the field.

I have one from J. Peterman that is a copy of the watch found on George Mallory's remains in 1999 on Mt Everest. He disappeared in 1924. It looks like a pocket watch converted to a wristwatch. Very simple looking.

Croft, I really like that wristwatch.

I own a 30's style dress watch (reproduction) but not a field watch. I may drop a hint to my good lady for Christmas! :)

I found some photos of Mallory wearing this watch (on his left wrist). It's a nice one. I ordered it last year when it was marked down to $70, but sent it back because I was looking for something a little different that I could wear to work. #-o Now I wish I would have kept it. Since Mallory actually did wear it up Everest it truly is an adventurer’s watch.

Depending on which vintage of Bond, it could have been either Rolex or Omega.

Personally, I think the Omega is the best watch ever made. NASA put most of the watches in existance through the most intensive battery of tests ever conducted and the Omega won, when they were choosing a watch for the manned space missions.

Then when we started doing joint space missions with the Russians and the cosmonauts saw the watch that the American astronauts were wearing, the Russians also made the Omega their official watch.

So the Omega ended up being the only watch that has ever been to the moon.

Well, I sort of thought of Indy as a pocket watch sort of guy. Anyway with my fading vision it occurred this might be the right watch for both of us.

It appears at the Rolex site as an exhibit of a WWI watch. The face seems to say "Waltham," surely not Rolex.

Not knit, but inserted in the back of the strap. You can find the same designs in the current crop of drop watches you buy at Wal-Mart.

Elgin. Good choice. :wink:

Wow, so many neat responses, all the watches shown are real nice lookin, specialy that watch that Mallory wore. Still I like the watch that started this thread as a watch that Indy wouldn't wear in the feild "for sure". But more of a watch he might have worn when he was at the collage.
I think I'll getting this watch but heres a question, would the watch be silver or gold? Michealson, you seem to be the pervayer of all that is knowledgable, what was the standard color back then (when you were a young man) in the day?

Well, okay, if we're playing top the watch rather than '30's archaeologist...
I present my beloved Benrus Type II nonferrous, antimagnetic...

Largely indestructable, it had one flaw as we who enjoyed Laird Fellowships to the Asian Riviera soon learned...

Mosquito repellent cracked its crystal.

To this day the musculature on my left side is somewhat more developed couresy of Benrus.

The Seamaster is about $1,800 here. The Speedmaster that went to the moon is around $2,400 I believe.

If he's smart he'd propose it fixed price but with rolling award fees each period, and then blame the integrating prime for schedule slips, forcing it to convert to a cost plus program. THEN it will really cost way more than it should.

Oh, certainly, at the very least. His biggest problem would be making sure he doesn't farm out any of the chuckwork to foreign controlled interests, which would tie up authorization of the funding. Certainly as the prime integrator he'd be distributing the wood and collecting the chuck, not chucking himself. But w/ the right business model, he could certainly chuck a lot of wood.

But I wouldn't give an impact assessment nor bid on how much wood the woodchuck could chuck without a proper environmental study preceeding the actual MOI from the governement that it does in fact plan to award the chucking contract at the conclusion of the study & bid.

Otherwise he'd be no smarter than a weasel. (Don't ask why the weasel went pop, it was a whistle-blower thing, and the weasel's lawyers have a gotten a gag order issued on us. I've probably said too much already...)

Here is my vote. Hamilton 4992B pocket watch. This is the military version of the famous 992B railroad watch. A fantastic bullet proof movement with a dial that can be read in all environments.

You can bet that Indy would have used a pocket watch for a couple reasons. First, wristwatches during this time period were almost always worn on a leather strap (bracelets were around but more jewelry than items then utilitarian items, unlike today) Unfortunately, leather does not hold up very well in the harse climates that Indy would have found himself in, the tropics/desert etc. Second, the movements put into wristwatches as well as the case materials (stainless had not come into use in mainstream watches yet) would never had held up either. A pocket watch, having the protection of a pocket and a much larger, more robust movement would have been the best choice by far.

My 8 cents worth.

I was thinking pocket watch as well at first, but the I thought about how easy it would have been for it to slip out of his pocket without his noticing, and down the line a little get bashed into a thousand pieces. Also, he fights waaaaaayyyyy to much for a pocketwatch. My theory is that he can read the sun and really just doesn't need one. Illinois.

I've got to agree w/ Vlad...er, Illinois. (Man, that avatar is creeping me out...I've never noticed before how much Vlad The Impaler looked like Michaelson...when did Vlad 'disappear' again? :shock: )

I think he just looked at the sun. If he was out adventuring, that's all he really needed to know. If he was back in society (at the university, whatever), there's clocks around. And bells...notice the bell signaled the end of his class. He didn't check a watch...

...nowadays, would he wear a watch? Depends on if his life is the same as then. If he's out and about, who cares what time it is in the outback?

Yes, yes I agree. Indy would never wear one of these on adventure, I'm asking would he wear one at the University. Or when he's out on the twon with Marion.
Thats all. Oh and Michealson, silver or gold wich would be the correct color for that time period. Any guess.

I think that IF he were to wear a watch when doing anything aside from adventuring, it would be a pocket watch like his dad. BTW he, (vlad) "dissapeared in 1476, but his coffin was empty. I have a cane, which a I aqcuried from a collector in romania which supposedly bellonged to him. carbon dating checked out. Illinois.

A pocket watch? Maybe. But Indy did fight in WW1, and his battle experience would probably dispose him favorably towards a wristwatch.

Which one? If not the Hamilton,or the Waltham, then probably the Ingersoll or Cartier tank watch. Since he's earning a university lecturer's salary which probably isn't a lot of dough, I'm betting on something he could get at Woolworth's.

When our power was out for two weeks after Hurricane Katrina I was able to tell the time based on the shadows on the front porch since it was too hot to stay inside. :P I was tempted to draw chalk on the areas the shadow would touch for certain times. But I thought it was cooler for someone to ask the time and all I do is look at the shadows and say erm.. around 5 oclock.

Amazing what not leaving the house with lack of power and a/c will do to you for a couple weeks. :| Especially when you start having COW withdrawal.

I am a proud owner of an Omega Seamaster Professional Chronometer.

I have owned one for about 14 years. It's one hardy time piece. I got sick and tired of having quartz time pieces fail on me while out in the field. I wanted a sturdy piece of equipment that didn't rquire a battery or winding. Yeah, they are expensive, but chalk it up to a good investment. They are heavy though - almost a full pound of metal on your wrist. But they are built to take a licking. I am not surprised that NASA picked them on their missions. BTW, Bufflehead Jones and me finally agreed on something... :-) :-)
